Chapter 494 The Calm Before The Storm
“Hmph! In that case, I’ll go to Pollerton and look for him!” Melanie harrumphed. Solomon wore a smile on his face, neither protesting nor stopping her from doing so.
After all, the achievements of someone like Donald would only be greater in the future. Only a handful of people knew that the man had secretly gained control of the world’s finance center, Dartan.
“I’ll go to Pollerton early tomorrow morning!” Melanie then packed her clothes to head to Pollerton. At dawn, Donald arrived back at Pollerton. He turned on his phone, only to see a ton of missed calls and WhatsApp messages.
They were all from Jennifer. “I’m sorry for misunderstanding you, Donald!” “Where are you, Donald?”
With his face devoid of expression, Donald turned off his phone. Although he wasn’t a petty person, Jennifer’s words hurt him. Despite being a warrior of the Mythical Realm, he was still human and had feelings, knew joy and sorrow.
Hence, he didn’t plan on replying to Jennifer. He figured that they should both take a break first. It had been exceptionally peaceful in Pollerton recently, but many people in the elite classes knew that it was the calm before the storm.
Kingsley, under the command of Donald, humiliated Tyrone. Although the Campbell clan hadn’t made a response to that, everyone knew that they would never let the matter slide.
Thus, their swift retaliation was imminent. More than ten years ago, the remnant of the Golden Beast, Donald, relaunched the Dragon Fide Villa project and went head to head against the Campbell clan.
Jennifer initially had other businesses besides providing supporting facilities for the land reclamation project, but they had all screeched to a halt then.
Everyone knew that Tyrone would expend his effort on dealing with Jennifer and everyone related to her. At nine o’clock in the morning, grave news started circulating.
Pollerton Translations had been wiped out by a mysterious force in a single night, razed to the ground. All the mercenaries whose visas had expired seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth.
It snagged the attention of many big shots in Pollerton, but they couldn’t find any leads. Consequently, they gave up. At a little over ten o’clock, Jennifer walked out of Pollerton with weariness lining her face, her eyes red and swollen.
On the one hand, she hadn’t rested well. On the other, all her business channels had been severed, including her capital chain. As such, Jennard Construction was on the brink of bankruptcy.
“This is all on Donald for having a conflict with Tyrone out of the blue!” Kevin followed behind her with displeasure etched across his features.
Jennifer stared at the pink Ferrari. “Since the shareholders withdrew their capital, I’m going to sell this car. Otherwise, we’ll go bankrupt!”
Shock inundated Kevin. “No way! Skye wants this car before she marries me!” “A car is only a consumable item. After selling it, I’ll fill the shortage before buying you a car worth about a hundred thousand,” Jennifer coaxed earnestly.
However, Kevin shook his head frantically. “No, no! Skye said she isn’t going to marry me without a luxury car!”
In a trice, Jennifer flew into a rage. “Are you a moron, Kevin? Is Skylar someone who’ll be content living a simple life? I once saw her sitting on Akio’s lap with my own eyes!”
Kevin’s eyes went wide. “Even if you don’t like her, Jennifer, you shouldn’t be slandering her in such a manner, no?”
Feeling that he was already beyond saving, Jennifer heaved a sigh. She took out the spare key and started the car, continuing to bustle around to drum up business.
The Wilson family in Tayhaven didn’t dare have anything to do with Jennifer anymore, severing all ties with her. Meanwhile, Donald sat in Supreme Villa in Pollerton Estates, combing through information.
Dubbed the king of spies, Noah had planted innumerable spies in Pollerton, yet to be removed until then. Ultimately, they were a hidden threat.
Bradley strolled in. “Lord Campbell, Ms. Wilson has encountered some difficulties.” Donald went still and a thoughtful expression showed on his face. In an instant, he figured out the key.
A long while later, he drawled, “Let’s do this. Dartan Expo is commencing next week, yes? At that time, give her some business.”
